Can a society legislate a change of heart? In Breakout Session (or Frogorse), inspired by Cleveland’s Consent Decree with the U.S. Department of Justice, a corporate training company is vying for the contract for anti-bias training with Cleveland’s Police Department. When the white facilitator tosses the approved curriculum out the window, the session spirals. Can a mantis shrimp and a crocodile teach us about building trust and the strength of vulnerability? Commissioned by CPT with funding from the National New Play Network (NNPN).

Breakout Session (or Frogorse) previews February 22 & 27. Press Night is Friday, February 28 and the show runs through March 14. Performances are Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Monday nights at 7:00pm.
